You and me no in between

"In the space between this breath and the one that follows, you have made home inside me"

  Veronica's POV:-

What a shame how my jolly mood was so short lived. I thought Aaron had enough brains that he would surely join two and two together and reach the conclusion that Eric was interested in Care-when they came at my wedding.

I tried to push off of him again to get him to put me down but no! how could God ever be on my side! "Aaron i am not scared of you so put me down and lets talk like civilized human beings" him carrying me over his shoulder was making me dizzy.

"Oh so now we're ready to be civilized. Moments before i was an asshole" i heard some playfulness in his voice. What the hell!! moments before i thought he would throw me off the stairs or something and now he is amused.

"At least tell me where are you taking me" i said with irritation.

"To my room" he replied nonchalantly walking as if nothing is wrong.

Finally he stopped in front of his door and yanked it open. Walked in and stood right in front of his master bed.

"Aaron I'm getting dizzy please put me down" my voice was strained and weak only because of the silence of his room engulfing us.

This is the first time i have been in his room. It was a combination gray and black. A black colored master bed with gray sheets and pillows the headboard of the bed facing the black wall. The rest were painted gray, a small study table and a dresser with a long mirror also a small black and grey couch with a black table. My favorite color is black what a coincidence.

He brought his hand up to my back and flipped me and in a moment i landed on my back on his bed with an ompph. He came down with me his face somewhere above my torso and was now hovering over me. I was right in the middle of the bed with him over me.

My breath hitched as the realization of our closeness hit me. "W-What are you doing?" he was moving upwards reaching my face like some prey.

"You still haven't answered me Veronica do you like Eric" the way my name rolled off of his tongue it sent those welcomed shivers down my spine, his voice was low and sexy just like cream cheese spread on a bagel. He brought his hand up and touched my face burning the skin there with it. Removing all the stray hair out of my face and rolling them in his fingers all the while staring in my eyes.

"You know what your stubbornness actually turns me on" there was a dark tone in his voice and i could feel the heat rising from my neck. He chuckled when i turned my face to hide the scarlet color.

He brought his hand up to my chin and tipped it up towards him. "You look beautiful when you blush, never hide it. Its my favorite color"

We kept staring in each others eyes and moments later i could feel his breath fan my lips, his soft lips lingering dangerously close to mine. He brushed his lips on to mine teasingly. All i wanted to do was to kiss him and melt in his arms but he pulled back shaking his head and a look of guilt passed on his face and it was gone as soon as it came.

He sat up turning away from me, i followed him up finally releasing the breath i was holding for moments. But disappointed, no idea why? Angry. again but i don't know why

"Eric loves Caroline besides he takes me as a sister. I look exactly like his sister........dead sister" i have no idea why but there was a certain longing and sadness in my voice while saying that Eric loved Care. I knew it was wrong of me to think this way but i hated the fact that Care has Eric who loves her madly while i feel all alone even though i am married, from my side view i saw guilt wash over his features.

"Dead sister"?

"Yeah her name was Freya.....................Eric saw her take her own life so he came here to study to keep his mind off of her.................and on the first day of college i bumped into him. Though i hated him at first but he grew on me what can i say" i wanted to tell Aaron everything i wanted to talk to him and that's why i kept speaking.

"I'm sorry i yelled at you it's just that Allison was just being really frustrating" he finally said a few minutes later.

I don't know why but jealousy ran over me, i stood up immediately and started leaving. He saw what i did yesterday yet he brought her back again with him. I know i told him he could bring her and whatever but still it hurt me that the moment i said i was fine with her presence-he brought her back.

As i took a step away from him he caught hold of my wrist stopping me shortly.

"Where are you going?" he asked looking up at me.

"I wanna go to my room." It came out through my clenched teeth.

At this point its not him i am angry at, it's me. Why don't i just drop everything and leave him. I'm an independent person, i can live on my own if dad does not support me Still i am tied to this place, this relation and above all, i am tied to Aaron. I don't like the feelings i have grown for him, they are dangerous. Every Time he is near me my mind turns to mush and it cannot formulate anything sensible.

Dropping everything, packing my bags and leaving out of the blue is the easiest thing i can do to stop all this

But no matter what i do, i cannot convince myself to leave.

I am tied to him.

His presence alone makes my mind run on emergency mode and every emotion is heightened. His scent is like a cloud that envelops me and every single touch ignites fires in the pit of my stomach.

I have to prove that i am not weak. I can make a decision and i will. I will Leave him.


"Look i shouldn't have said what i did and i am sorry for that. I was out with a client when we stopped at the coffee shop. I saw you dancing and giggling with him and it just ticked me off. I'm sorry." He said running a hand through his hair. "You......You seem happy with him...." this was barely a whisper but i heard it.

"Okay now let me go" again i tried. This time he stood up. He still does not know why i am angry.

"What are you so mad at? I am trying-"

"YOU are trying? Does sleeping with Allison count as trying. Does, you getting jealous when i hang with my friends count as trying or you bringing me here and i living alone AND miserable count as trying? TELL ME?....." I sat back sighing and feeling a pint of guilt for shouting at him. These days I'm just losing my temper so much, i was never like this.

Running a hand through my curls and sighing i spoke again, standing up and walking towards him. "Eric is head over heels for Caroline and I hate it when Eric confesses his love for Care, because i have no one, and then i feel guilty for having such thoughts, you snatched my chance of ever finding love. You only care about your-" i was cut off as his lips crashed to mine.

I did not return the kiss and tried to pull away but he would not let me and finally i gave into that hypnotic world. My hands traveling to his neck then running through his soft hair; they were just like i imagined it.

It was passionate at first, hurriedly his lips worked against mine as if i would turn dust, soon. He kept moving back until both of us landed on his bed again on my back, him hovering over me. He finally broke apart to breathe but joined our foreheads.

"You have me and only me there is no one in between." he finally said and kissed lightly on my lips again and got back up quickly.

"I am hungry lets make some food shall we" he got up and left the room chuckling all the while a smirk plastered to his face.

While i was left wondering. What the HELL just happened? Shaking my head i stood up a blush making me smile all the way downstairs and a weird likable tingling on my lips. Why am i feeling like this. Oh God i'm turning bipolar. I was angry at him and now i'm blushing. He has got to stop kissing me like that, out of the blue.

I saw him in the kitchen mingling with dishes and saucers "What are we making?" I asked once i was in the kitchen to make my "one" sided awkwardness melt.

"You tell me. Today i'll cook and you'll eat. Okay?" I nodded.

"Make anything, i'll eat" he stopped all movements and turned to me.

"Really"? He asked wide eyed.

"Yep" i said popping the 'p'

"Anything"?

"Yes anything" i said a bit unsure mow because of the devilish grin he was passing me.

"Okay so i'll make the human placenta i brought today, someone told me "it make us immortal"  he said quoting in a triumphant voice and i'm sure my jaw just about hit the ground.

"Are you sure" horror was clear in my voice.

"You said you'll eat anything i make, why this face now, love" he said mimicking my expressions.

"YUKKHHH! I wont even touch it let alone eat!" i spat at him regaining my conscious but liked how he called me love "who'd you kill to get it" i spoke again realizing how he got it. 

"Oh you know the usual, hijacked a labor room at a hospital cut the placenta off when the baby came out of that woman. Though that was disgusting as shit seeing all that" he said nonchalantly and I'm sure i was inches away from a heart attack staring at him horrified.

He left the pan and started laughing like a manic holding his stomach. "You should see yourself" a low growl made its way out of my mouth as i realized he was joking. That asshole!!!!!! stomping towards him i smacked his arm but he didn't stop.

"God, You looked so cute Ver, i swear" he tried controlling his laughter but was of no use.

Even though i was angry i couldn't help but smile when he used my nickname and soon i was laughing with him too.

"Ha ha ha very funny Aaron" i spat sarcastically once i stopped and realized he was smiling at me.

"You should laugh more, i can hear it all day" it made me blush furiously and i turned now facing the cutting board.

"I'll help with your placenta too, for future reference you know......Umm with THE placenta" i corrected myself quickly realizing my mistake. HIS placenta what was i thinking.

"Okay as you wish" he was again laughing but a bit controlled but his laugh sent strange vibrations in the pit of my stomach making me shift uncomfortably.

We started cooking and he would occasionally brush his shoulder or the back of his hand to mine or would make me gasp by suddenly coming behind me and whispering the instructions in my ear. Making me blush every single time. Why am i acting like a love struck teen ughhh?! well i just left my teens turning 20.

Finally getting irritated i stopped him "STOP doing that Aaron!" he grinned knowing what i was talking about.

"Stop what? What am i doing Veronica" yet he acted dumbfound. How can i forget he is an asshole.

"S-stop doing what you are, its making me...........weird"

"What am i doing that's making you........weird. I don't know, tell me what is it" he was trying to conceal his smirk that prick!!

"You know what i am talking about don't act dumb!" i raised my voice in irritation.

"I don't know, Veronica, please tell me" he asked yet again making me angry.

Wait i'll show you" i stomped towards him and stood behind him trying to reach for his ear but his built was stopping me short.

No matter what i tried it was impossible without me face palming with his back couple of times and hearing him vibrate with a chuckle though his cologne was intoxicating as always. I was completely hidden behind him.

"Goddamnit why are you so big" as soon as those words left my mouth i put a hand over my mouth gasping and sure realizing what i just said.

He turned and looked at me for a minute with wide eyes and then broke into hysterics. I need a brain to mouth filter!!

"Shut up you know what i meant" i smacked on his chest.

"Oh i know what you meant. Thanks for the compliment but i wonder how do you know so much about me i mean you haven't even see-" i covered his mouth with my hand before he could complete his inappropriate sentence.

And that was a mistake....maybe not. He kissed my palm and stopped me from moving it away by holding my wrists and then kissing the back of my hand.

"This is ready why don't you go change and i'll set the plates" i spoke in hopes he would go and it worked he left chuckling and kissing the back of my hand again leaving tingles there.

I set our food at the small dinning table and the plates with it when i came back with a bottle of red wine he was already sitting there waiting for me.

I poured some for both of us and set it down to take my seat but before i could do so Aaron pulled at my arm and i landed on his lap with his hand on my lower back and my hair all over his face.

"Seems like you cannot resist me kitten" i smacked his chest, arrogant asshole.

"Yeah right and that is why we cant resist horses and cows so we sit on their backs too" i spoke with a smirk of my own.

"Do you want me to let you go or you wanna have dinner right here on my lap" he winked at the end.

"Whatever" i tried to get up in hopes of hiding the crimson color shading my face but he pulled me back, an arm around my waist.

"Aaron the food is getting cold let me go" i tried again but, no.

He picked up his wine glass and drank from it right in front of my face. Jerk!

I tried again to get up with all my force and he brought his arm around my waist holding me tightly in my place.

"Fine if you want this then i'll also eat my food right here. Watch me" huffing in aggravation i quickly turned and stopped short.

A few meters away stood my father looking uncomfortable and kind of angry.

Oh, God.

Aaron couldn't see my father still because my head was right in his face. "I'll be more than happy" he had to open his mouth, i quickly brought my hand up behind me and put it over his mouth and that prick kissed it just like before.

The level of my embarrassment was extreme "D-Dad, hey" obviously Aaron heard me and stopped, taking the opportunity i got off of him and something else came to my view.

There stood Allison behind my father. What the hell!?!?!?!?!

Before i could recover Aaron stood and walked towards dad and greeted him and my father shook his hand and gave him a curt nod still looking a bit pissed.

"Veronica wont you give me a hug" my father spoke walking towards me. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged and left me with a kiss on my forehead and that's when I recovered from

1. my embarrassment at what he had to see.
2. Anger at why Allison was here.

"D-Dad hey. How come you're here" I stuttered.

"Oh I came here to meet Aaron on a business matter." He turned towards Aaron and spoke "I got the file you sent and I have to discuss some clauses again" he spoke and my face fell at the realization that he didn't come here to see me and Aaron's eyes zoomed in on me immediately.

"Sure we will. Why don't you have dinner with us it's thanksgiving after all" Aaron offered my dad and i gave him a pointed look. I know what you're trying to do there.

"Yeah dad why don't you join us. Please" he looked at me then Aaron and hesitated.

"Off Course she can join in with you" i offered with as much politeness as i could muster in a sentence regarding Allison. I can put my dis-likeness for her at the back of my mind only to see my father smile.

"Yeah sure anything for you honey" he kissed my forehead and maybe i saw Allison look everywhere but me after realizing that this really was my father.

I set the plates for both of them and saw dad sitting in the place where Aaron was a few minutes before. When i was coming out of the kitchen with glasses i saw Allison walking towards the side where Aaron was seated beside my father.

Before i could reach there she had already planted her fake butts beside him.

All i wanted to do was bash her head in the table but unfortunately all i could do was glare at her when my father could not see and that bitch had the audacity to smirk at me. This was all Aaron's fault he brought her here first. My eyes zoomed in on him with a glare.

Walking around the table i sat beside dad's other side and we all started at our food. Thankfully we had made more than we could eat so we wouldn't have to cook later.

I was aimlessly stabbing at my food when dad called out to me.

"Yeah"? I answered him.

"I was asking how have you been? Is Aaron taking care of you?" he covered my hand with his squeezing it gently. My poor father had no clue as to how much i have suffered and he thought i was happy.

"Dad i am happy" i spoke in a quieter tone but didn't miss Aaron's hardened face. Why was he angry?

My father just squeezed my hand and went back to his food. For desert i brought the chocolate fudge cake i had made-to the dining table in a foul mood.

Allison kept flirting with Aaron and she was also doing the same with my father while i just sat there watching her and felt a puke make its way up whenever she touched my fathers hand or Aaron's arm. How i wished i could cut off her arms
